One Legged Former Wrestler, Zach Gowen, Kicks Ass on American Ninja Warrior
I remember watching Zach Gowen during his run in the WWE and being as impressed with his mental approach to life as his physical approach. He’s no longer in the WWE but he’s still showing how he can overcome obstacles using a combination of physical and mental toughness. Pretty amazing!

Following yesterday’s post about a guy who created a montage of him singing a single song over five years, here’s a new record holder – one selfie every day for 8.5 years!
